Gruber, Schwertsik: Trumpet Works / Hardenberger

Gruber & Schwertsik: Works for trumpet and orchestra Gruber, HK: 3 MOB Pieces Version for trumpet & chamber orchestra Busking for trumpet, accordion, banjo and string orchestra Mats Bergström (banjo) & Claudia Buder (accordion) Schwertsik: Divertimento Macchiato, Op. 99 per tromba et orchestra Håkan Hardenberger (trumpet) Swedish Chamber Orchestra, HK Gruber

Håkan Hardenberger returns to BIS with a disc of works written especially for him by HK Gruber and Kurt Schwertsik. The Three MOB Pieces, composed in 1968, take inspiration from a diverse cross-section of music, including the neo-classicism of Stravinsky, the Beatles and the cabaret music by Hanns Eisler and Kurt Weill. In each of the three movements of Busking the soloist plays a trumpet in a different key, with the accompaniment of an accordion, a banjo and strings. Schwertsik’s title for his Divertimento is deceptive as he adds both melancholy and defiance to a work that appears, on the face of it, to offer easy-on-the-ear entertainment.
